REVIEW: Hoshigami DS

Shouldn’t there be more of these out there?

By “these” I mean Japanese turn based strategy games for the DS. With the system having all but consumed the market in Japan and still burning up the charts over here, you’d think that we’d have seen more of these kinds of games on our shores. I could be wrong, but “Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix” is probably the first of its kind to make it to this system in the States. That’s definitely good for the game itself, since it’ll be judged a bit more forgivingly by its target audience. While I can’t say that the game needs every bit of help it’ll get, it’ll certainly tide people over well enough until something better comes along.
